Ok, with nothing else to do I opened up the playroom and found my old bike.

Must pump up those tires.

We have a ‘stay at home’ direction from the State Government and if you are out on the roads this long weekend you must have a good reason (work, essential services, etc) or else.

My wheels are not up to some of the specs posted so far but here it is.

A little after work jaunt at 1:30am need some advice on clipless. Are they really worth the transition if I’m only riding 50-60 miles a week?

In my opinion, clipless are always better, no matter the distance.

I would be lost without them as so much more power is generated with them.

Definitely recommended even for that distance. You’ll appreciate the efficiency gain immediately.

Does anyone have a Specialized Roubaix?

With the terrible state of UK roads, the thought of a comfy road bike is appealing

Tubeless tires and reduced tire pressure will do more for ride comfort and (GREATLY) reduced flats than any frame will ever do.

Trek/Specialized
I am really happy with my 2018 Trek Domane SL with 32mm tubeless running about 60psi pressure. I also have a 35mm gravel wheel set in my photo. The current model has a lot more tire clearance up to 40mm. Wide tires offer way more comfort and control. Treks iso speed decoupler technology is proven and requires little maintenance. The Roubaix is also great bike but the front future shock has had plenty issues. If you sweat a lot both the Domane and Roubaix will require regular maintenance. My advise is to demo both to help you make the best decision. It's always best to support your local dealer which should determine your brand loyalty. Good luck getting comfy, Happy Riding!
